DATE: May 13, 2021

FROM: Cindy McCormick, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Zoning Amendment to allow alarmed electrified fences in
commercial and industrial zones
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council
approve a modification of the City’s Zoning Ordinance to allow monitored perimeter
security fence systems on commercial and industrial zoned properties, subject to
specified criteria in the Ordinance. (Roll Call Vote)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Due to ongoing concerns about theft and van dalism from the applicant’s clients, the
applicant is requesting an amendment to the City Code’s Fence Ordinance to allow
monitored perimeter security fence systems (“electrified fences”) on commercial and
industrial zoned properties.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Article XXXIV, Section 30.34.040, electrified fences of any kind are
currently prohibited in the City. Pursuant to Article LII (Amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance), Sections 30.52.30, 30.52.40, 30.52.55, and 30.52.60, the Planning
Commission shall hold a public hearing to consider ordinance amendments and may
either deny the request or recommend City Council the approval of the request. In the
case of a recommendation of approval, the planning commission shall make findings
demonstrating that the amendment is necessary to carry out the general purpose of the
applicable City Code and applicable general plan goals and policies. The recommended
ordinance will then be scheduled for a city council hearing. In the case of a denial, the
planning commission shall adopt a resolution with specific findings for the denial. If
denied, the applicant may appeal to the City Council. The city council may approve,
modify, or disapprove a proposed ordinance amendment.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Review and approval of Z 21-02 qualifies for an exemption from environmental review
under California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Section 15311 (Class 11) of the
CEQA guidelines, which provides that CEQA does not apply to the construction of minor
structures accessory to (appurtenant to) existing commercial, industrial, or institutional
facilities, including but not limited to fences. The action also would not constitute a
“project” within the meaning of CEQA under Section 15061(b) (3) of the CEQA
Guidelines, which states a project is exempt from CEQA when “[t]he activity is covered
by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the
potential for causing a significant impact to the environment. Where it can be seen with
certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant
effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA”.
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The electrified security fence system (“electrified fence”) would be located behind a
separate non-electrified perimeter fence (“perimeter fence”) in order to prevent
inadvertent access to the electrified security system. The design standards required
under the Ordinance will also help ensure that the electrified fence will be visually
transparent, as seen from the public right-of-way and adjacent properties.
The permitted perimeter security system would be a short -pulsed, monitored, burglar
alarm system which meets international installation standards, and has been safety
tested and certified by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). The
alarmed, battery-charged electrified fence would be located 6 -to-12-inches behind the
perimeter fence and would be comprised of twenty (20) 12.5 gauge, galvanized steel
wires which run horizontally to a height of 10-feet. The power source for the security
system is low voltage, solely powered by a 12V/DC battery. No part of the system
connects to the electrical grid and it does not carry continuous current.
The system includes an audible alarm which sounds when the fen ce line is breached by
a trespasser. This type of system does not directly connect to or call law enforcement,
thereby minimizing unnecessary calls for service. In the event of an alarm, a signal will
be sent to the security provider’s monitoring station, who in turn contacts the business
to let them know they had an alarm event. The alarm can be silenced by the business
after verification or set to automatically shut off after a determined amount of time. The
business must first verify the alarm event, and only then will deployment of law
enforcement be requested.
The proposed amendment and required findings for approval are provided in the
attached draft Ordinance (Attachment 1). As provided therein, monitored perimeter
security fence systems would be permitted in commercial and industrial zoned
properties, subject to certain design, construction, and operating requirements. Prior to
installation, the property owner shall receive an approved permit from the Police
Department in accordance with GCC Chapter 3B (Alarm Systems).
Findings for Approval: If recommending approval, the Planning Commission shall
5.A
Packet Pg. 9
3
announce its decision making the findings for approval. The recommended Ord inance
will then be scheduled for consideration by the City Council. The tentative City Council
public hearing for this proposed amendment has been scheduled for June 21, 2021.
Based on staff’s analysis, the required findings for approval have been met as follows:
1. That the amendment is necessary to carry out the general purpose of this
chapter:
The intent of Article XXXIV (Fences and Obstructions) is to control the location, height
and materials of fences and other visual or physical obstructions so that t hey do not
adversely affect adjacent properties or obstruct vision along public streets.
Staff Analysis: The proposed amendment is consistent with the intent of the fence
ordinance, because the criteria for approval of a monitored perimeter security fence
system requires the electrified fence to be visually transparent, since it would be located
6-to-12-inches behind a perimeter fence and would be comprised of twenty (20) 12.5
gauge, galvanized steel wires which run horizontally to a height of 10-feet.
2. That the amendment is necessary to carry out the applicable general plan
goals and policies.
Staff Analysis: The proposed amendment will carry out the following Gilroy 2040
General Plan goals and policies:
2040 General Plan Goals and Policies Staff Analysis
Land Use Goal LU 5. Encourage, facilitate, and
support the development of new employment and
industrial uses and retention of existing industry
to ensure compatibility with existing surrounding
uses and planned uses.
Approval of the code amendment will help
retain existing businesses in the City by
minimizing theft and the associated loss of
revenue. The proposed design standards
will help ensure that the fence is visually
transparent as seen from the right-of-way
and adjacent properties.
Economic Prosperity Goal EP 3. Maintain a
supportive business climate that increases the
City’s ability to support expansion of existing
businesses and attraction of new businesses.
The requested code amendment was in
response to vandalism, trespassing, and
theft of a local business in Gilroy. Approval
of the code amendment will help minimize
crime against businesses throughout the
commercial and industrial zones of the city.
Economic Prosperity Policy EP 3.3 Regulation
Updates. Update policies, procedures, and
regulations to promote a business-friendly
atmosphere and a high-quality environment that
is attractive to residents and businesses.
Approval of the code amendment will permit
installation of a security system that is
designed to secure businesses’ property
and assets in industrial and commercial
zones by providing monitored intrusion
protection around the perimeter of a
property.
Economic Prosperity Policy EP 8.1 Industrial Approval of the code amendment will

and Commercial Lands. Protect and improve
the quantity and quality of lands designated for
industrial and commercial uses.
protect commercial and industrial
businesses by deterring theft and
vandalism, alerting the business owner
when the alarm is activated, and requesting
the deployment of law enforcement in case
of a security breach.
Public Facilities and Services Goal PFS 9
Provide excellent public safety services in
partnership with the community.
The monitored perimeter security fence
system requires the business to verify the
alarm event, prior to requesting deployment
of law enforcement; thereby minimizing
unnecessary calls for service.
Public Facilities and Services Policy PFS 9.3
Development Review. Include the Police
Department in the review of development
proposals to ensure that crime and safety issues
are consistently addressed in the review of new
development. Such review shall promote the
implementation of Crime Prevention through
Environmental Design principles.
Applicants will be required to obtain a
permit from the Police Department. The
required multi-lingual "Warning-Electric
Fence" signage will act as a deterrent to
theft and vandalism.
Public Outreach and Noticing: As required by law, a notice of the Planning
Commission meeting was advertised in The Gilroy Dispatch on Friday, April 30, 2020
(no less than 10 days prior to the meeting). Individual property owner notification is not
required since the proposed amendments affect large areas of the City. The Planning
Commission public hearing packets are available through the City’s web page.
Appeal Procedure: In accordance with Section 30.51.50 of the Gilroy City Code, the
Planning Commission's decision may be appealed, in writing, to the City Council within
20 days of adoption of the resolution. Appeal forms may be obtained from the Ci ty Clerk
and must be submitted with the appropriate fee before the end of the appeal period.

FORMAL REQUEST FOR A CODE AMENDMENT WITH PROPOSED LANGUAGE
GILROY MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 3B-ALARM SYSTEMS
The purpose of this letter is to formally request a code amendment to Chapter 3B.
AMAROK is a perimeter security company securing thousands of companies nationwide, including
more than 500 commercial sites in California. We provide the most comprehensive perimeter alarm
system that protects businesses’ outdoor assets. AMAROK’s main system components are a monitored
alarm device integrated with an electrified security fence. The security fence is installed entirely behind
a non-electrified perimeter fence and must be taller to effectively deter and prevent criminals from
scaling the security system.
In order to provide a safe and secure environment for local businesses and employees, AMAROK
requests a code amendment to Chapter 3B Alarm Systems. Adding Section 3B.11 – Monitored
Perimeter Security Fence System as follows:
3B.11 – Monitored perimeter security fence system.
Monitored perimeter security fence system means a perimeter Alarm system with an assembly of
battery powered equipment, including but not limited to: a monitored alarm device and energizer which
is intended to periodically deliver pulses to a security fence, a battery charging device used exclusively
to charge the system’s battery, and other integrated components. The monitored perimeter security
fence system transmits a signal intended to summon the business and/or an alarm monitoring business
in response to an intrusion or burglary.
(a) The construction and use of monitored perimeter security fence systems shall be allowed as
provided in this Chapter, subject to the following requirements:
1) IEC Standard 60335-2-76: Unless otherwise specified herein, monitored perimeter
security fence systems shall be constructed and operated in conformance with the
specifications set forth in International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standard No.
60335-2-76, current edition.
2) Power Source: The energizer for Monitored perimeter security fence systems must be
driven by a commercial storage battery not to exceed 12 volts DC. The storage battery is

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The owner of the T&C Farmer’s Market requests Conditional Use Permit approval to
operate an outdoor farmers market in the parking lot of the Gilroy Premium Outlets,
located at 681 Leavesley Road, within the C3 Commercial Shopping Center District
(Attachment 2). The applicant has provided a site plan (Attachment 3) and statement
of operations (Attachment 4) further describing their request.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s commercial use table (Article XIX, Section 30.19.010[c][1]) does not include a
provision for “farmer’s markets”, even though they are a prolific use throughout the state
of California and the nation. The closest similar use would be “outdoor booths and
sales”; however, these uses are considered “temporary”, and are therefore only
permitted for thirty (30) days per calendar year, in compli ance with the city’s temporary
use policy. When a use is not explicitly listed in the City’s commercial use table, the
Planning Commission may apply the district regulations and conditions more broadly,
5.B
Packet Pg. 18

upon written request. Given the more permanent nature of a weekly farmer’s market,
the Community Development Director has recommended the application of a
Conditional Use Permit, which allows the Planning Commission to place specified
conditions on the proposed use, including, but not limited to, conformity to plans and
drawings submitted with the application and limits on time of day for the conduct of
specified activities.
Pursuant to Article XXXIV, Section 30.50.040, the Planning Commission shall receive,
investigate, hear and decide upon every application for a conditional use and, after the
hearing, shall approve the issuance of a use permit only if the evidence presented at the
hearing establishes: (1) that the proposed use is properly located in relation to the
general plan and to the community as a whole and to other land uses and to
transportation and service facilities in the vicinity; and (2) that the proposed use, if it
complies with all conditions upon which approval is made contingent, will not adversely
affect other property in the vicinity, or cause any damage, hazard, or nuisance to
persons or property.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Review and approval of CUP 21-01 qualifies for an exemption from environmental
review under California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Section 15304 (Class 4) of
the CEQA guidelines, which provides that CEQA does not apply to Minor Alterations of
Land, including but not limited to “m inor temporary use of land having negligible or no
permanent effects on the environment, including carnivals, sales of Christmas trees,
etc.” where any temporary effects of a nuisance nature can be controlled through the
use of permits, such as this conditional use permit and the Department of Public Health
permits. Furthermore, the action would not constitute a “project” within the meaning of
CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states a project is
exempt from CEQA when “[t]he activity is covered by the common sense exemption that
CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant impact
to the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that
the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is
not subject to CEQA”.
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:
On February 4, 2021, the City of Gilroy issued a temporary use permit (TUP) to allow T
& C Farmer’s Market to begin operations in the Gilroy Premium Outlets parking lot. The
TUP was intended as a temporary measure to allow operation of the farmers market
until the CUP was presented to the Planning Commission for approval.
As provided in the applicant’s statement of operations, the T & C Farmer’s Market sells
produce, arts & crafts, and prepared foods including hot dogs, bakery items, hummus,
etc. All produce vendors have producer certificates as required by Santa Clara County
Department of Agriculture, while all prepared food vendors have permits, as required by
Santa Clara County Health Department. T & C Farmer’s Market requires face masks,
social distancing, and other COVID-19 preventive measures, as required by the County
health department.

Packet Pg. 19

T & C Farmer’s Market has a lease agreement with Gilroy Premium Outlets, LLC from
February 6, 2021 through June 4, 2021 to operate within a 14,980 square foot portion of
the Building C parking lot, on Saturdays from 8:30 AM to 8:30 PM, including time for
set-up and tear-down. The 14,980 square foot area is highlighted in orange on the
attached site plan. The resolution includes a condition of approval that the farmer’s
market shall only operate in compliance with their lease agreement with the
management company.
Initially, the farmer’s market would likely be open during the morning only and
expanding to the afternoon, as needed to meet demand during the busy months
between April and September. If successful, T & C Farmer’s Market would also like to
expand to additional days per week, including potentially Sundays and/or one Friday per
month. However, any such expansion would be contingent upon a modification of their
lease agreement. The conditions of approval would allow such expansion to be
approved by the Community Development Director, or the Planning Commission at a
future public meeting, if warranted.
Findings for Approval: The planning commission shall approve the conditional
use permit only if evidence presented at the hearing establishes the findings for
approval. Based on staff’s analysis, the required findings for approval have been met as
follows, and subject to conditions in the draft Resolution of Approval for CUP 21-01:

again, if there is consumer demand.

at the Farmers Market, to run 9:30am-2:00pm. And, 3pm
to 7pm. At this point, we’re just considering Growth2,
however, I wanted to let you know, we may approach you
